Is Alaska bigger than Texas

Answer 1

Alaska has more than twice the area of Texas. Texas has total area of 268,596 square miles including land area of 261,231 square miles. Alaska has a total area of 665,384 square miles including land area of 570,641 square miles.

Texas is about 262,000 square miles and Alaska is 572,000 square miles, meaning that if Alaska's land area were divided equally into two states then Texas would become the third largest state, rather than the second largest in the USA.

Alaska is actually larger than Texas, Montana, and California combined.

Much of the uncertain comparison involves the use of maps in a different scale. If you compare actual areas, you'll find that you could put Alaska over the Pacific coast from California to Washington state, and over to the west as far as Texas. With the Aleutian Islands included, Alaska is as wide as the western half of the US.
